Yukon Heritage Day is celebrated in Canada's Yukon Territory on the Friday before the last Sunday in February. This vibrant event honors the rich history and diverse culture of the region, particularly recognizing the contributions of Indigenous peoples and early pioneers. Celebrations often include the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous festival, featuring sled dog races, air shows, and snow sculpture contests, which embody the adventurous spirit of Yukon. Residents and visitors are encouraged to engage in activities such as gold panning at the Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park and exploring historical sites like the SS Klondike and Dawson Historical Complex. The day serves as an opportunity for the community to reflect on its heritage, fostering a sense of pride and connection to the territory's unique identity.
